Podcast Recorded in April 2019: In this episode, Molly shares the inspiring story of her daughter with Down syndrome and their incredible journey together. It's a conversation filled with love, resilience, and the beauty of embracing differences. This is an episode that will warm your heart and open your mind. Let Molly’s story remind us all of the power of acceptance and the joy of life’s unexpected paths. In the interview, we also discuss the various types of Down Syndrome: Trisomy 21: About 95% of people with Down syndrome have Trisomy 21.2 With this type of Down syndrome, each cell in the body has 3 separate copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual 2 copies. Translocation Down syndrome: This type accounts for a small percentage of people with Down syndrome (about 3%). This occurs when an extra part or a whole extra chromosome 21 is present, but it is attached or “trans-located” to a different chromosome rather than being a separate chromosome 21. Mosaic Down syndrome: This type affects about 2% of the people with Down syndrome. 2 Mosaic means mixture or combination. For children with mosaic Down syndrome, some of their cells have 3 copies of chromosome 21, but other cells have the typical two copies of chromosome 21. Children with mosaic Down syndrome may have the same features as other children with Down syndrome. However, they may have fewer features of the condition due to the presence of some (or many) cells with a typical number of chromosomes.
